Re: [Frameworks] The Complaining Body
In Stephen Dwoskin's Pain Is... (1997), there is a sequence where a trapeze artist describes how her body suffers from robe burns and restricted blood flow. There is a version on YouTube http://youtu.be/Hi4PQETsD0k?t=35m1s; the sequence is at 0:35:01. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] The Complaining Body
If you include video: Laura Kipnis, Marx: The Video (1990) presents the personal medical ailment of painful carbuncles erupting on Marx’s body while he was working on Capital in comparison with the economic and political analysis of the body politic under capitalism.

Re: [Frameworks] The Complaining Body
Hi Sarah, There was a post similar to this last year called concepts of work that you might find in the Frameworks archive. I copied and pasted my response here: There's also Teching (Sam) Hseih's* One Year Performance 1980-1981 (Time Clock Piece) *which I believe exists somewhere in 16mm format. Sam punched a time clock on the hour every hour for one year in his studio. He shot one frame of 16mm film for each time clock punch. He shaved his head at the beginning of this performance - the time lapse/animated hair growth serving as a record of the performance. I believe he was institutionalized briefly right after this performance - he didn't sleep for more than an hour at a time for one year... punching a clock several times a day is maddening enough. A link explaining the work: http://vimeo.com/16280427 There's also this video I made a few years ago: https://vimeo.com/32584231 my body's still complaining about that labor..
